RICHMOND — A woman survived Monday after the Lexus SUV she was driving was struck by a freight train, police said.

The train collided with the SUV on Burlington Northern Santa Fe tracks as it traveled south near Harbour Way and Marina Way South. When it hit the vehicle about 12:39 p.m., the train was going 8-10 mph, Richmond police Lt. Andre Hill said. The woman, whose age was not released, complained only of pain, Hill said.

“Lucky for her,” he said, “the train was going very slow.”

The train pushed the car about 75 feet before stopping, Hill said, and nobody else was reported to be injured. Hill said the intersection where the car was hit does not feature a mechanical arm.

After the collision, the train blocked Marina Way South, and cars were detoured around the sight in both directions.

Officials with the railway company were not available immediately for comment.
